Biography
Akiko Hayashi works in support of various projects in the Oceanography Group. She has a integral role in the production of Level 3 products for salinity and alitmetry and the production of auxillary data for use in CALVAL and data retrieval. She produces images and animations for altimetery, salinity, soil moisture and wind products used in research, education and outreach.
